i'm joking by the way. I think in terms of the "more extensive testing and use by this term in its life vs......" someone had a good point about timing. The Glock came out at a time (25 Years? good time flies) when many agencies, armies etc were re-thinking their armement. That does tend to lend itself to more extensive testing in a short time.
You know i don't think the Glock is a bad pistol, I just don't like it for me.(yes i have shot them.)
So to avoid another round of "Glock vs ......" lets just say
They both (in this case) seem good, to each, his/her own.
(and my 1911 has a shorter reset so Nya nya )
ok i'll head that one off, the ONLY problems i have had with it in 17 years is when I put one of the double springs in backwards. I bought it used and put nothing more into is so its not some x thousands special.

I looked up this definition:Argentina is not Third World. New Orleans is closer to that standard.
Third World: Phrase used originally to distinguish those countries that were aligned neither with the capitalist West, the First World, nor with the socialist East, the Second World. It remains widely used to describe non-industrialized, ex-colonial, or developing countries despite the collapse of the Second World.
Cosmopolitan Third World, perhaps, but I think Argentina is still a "developing" country. It's hardly a major world power in any sense (political, industrial, economic, etc.). But I may be ignorant, having never ventured to Argentina.
Semantics, perhaps, and not having much to do with guns.
The JSSAP tests certainly weren't. But it's one thing to put a bunch of guns through the wringer and choose one that passed all the tests because you want to put missiles in the pistol's country of origin. It's another to only test one pistol and adopt it because it's made in your home country.Have you ever known government procurement not to be influenced by politics?

In 1981, the US Army was given control of the JSSAP pistol trials. 85 requirements were laid down for the winning XM9 pistol; 72 were mandatory while 13 were desirable. Only four pistols were entered: the Beretta 92SB (an improved 92S-1), the HK P7M13, the S&W 459A, and the SIG-Sauer P226. However, all four failed, and strangely, the Beretta finished dead last, even behind the M1911A1.
Congress and the GAO were infuriated by the waste of money with no apparent results. Procurement funds for additional .45 ACP ammunition was withheld until the US Army could formulate a test series that a manufacturer could pass. The XM9 trials started again in January 1984. During the mean time, Beretta had improved the 92SB again, calling the resulting pistol the 92SB-F. The competitors included the Colt SSP, the FN Double Action Hi-Power, the HK P7M13, the SIG-Sauer P226, the S&W 459, the Steyr GB, and the Walther P88. In the end, only the P226 and 92SB-F were considered to have passed all of the tests.
After a series of bids in which SIG-Sauer was the low bidder, Beretta was finally given the contract due to a lower price quoted on its spare parts. Needless to say, SIG-Sauer was extremely annoyed, and there were allegations that Beretta was shown SIG-Sauer's final bid in order to under-cut it. Moreover, the other manufacturers were upset for a variety of reasons. Several had worked up bids before they were told that they were in fact not eligible. Moreover, S&W's pistols had failed due to a mathematical error while converting to English units from Metric in determining firing pin energy.
After a series of GAO and Congressional investigations, another series of tests similar to the XM9 trials were ordered for 1987. However, these started off with controversy as well. The US Army fought to keep the 92F (now the M9) from being retested since it had passed the XM9 trials. SIG-Sauer insisted that the P226 didn't need to retested either since it had passed XM9 as well. On the other hand, S&W noted that the Beretta M9s were no longer being built to the standards of the XM9 trials, having received relaxation of several requirements including accuracy.
Around the same time, reports of M9 slide separations were becoming rampant in both the US Navy and Army. The Navy SEALs were arguably abusing their pistols by firing over-pressure ammunition in suppressed examples, while the Army's separations were blamed on the use of recycled slides from a French contract which contained tellurium. Events were becoming so bad that a Safety-of-Use message recommended that slides be replaced after 3000 rounds had been fired; however, this recommendation was lowered to 1,000 rounds after a M9 suffered a slide separation with less than 3,000 rounds fired.
Beretta took a two-pronged response. First, they sued the Department of the Navy because the SEAL Teams had leaked info of the slide separations to Ruger. Second, they designed a hammer pin with an over-sized head to fit into a groove machined in the slide. Thus, if the slide separated, it would not strike the user in the face. Commercially, these pistols are known as the 92FS
The XM10 tests were finally rescheduled for 1988 after being canceled the year before for lack of participation. Beretta refused to submit samples, so the US Army used off-the-shelf M9s. Beretta protested this, but since they had already refused samples, this protest was rejected. SIG-Sauer also refused to submit samples, standing on principle that they had passed XM9 the first time. S&W submitted their 459 again, and Ruger submitted their new P85.
Again, there were allegations of impropriety. The Army refused to relax their requirement for a chrome-lined bore, even if the barrel was made from stainless steel. Moreover, the S&W failed tests that they had passed in XM9. They were the only pistols to pass the XM9 accuracy requirements, yet they failed the XM10. The S&W also failed the corrosion tests in spite of the fact that the affected parts which failed XM10 were made from stainless steel, while the same parts in the successful XM9 samples were made from carbon steel. Ruger wasn't provided any reasons as to why their samples failed.
"Third World" is 20th Century obsolete, based on ideology that doesn't even exist. Under a more applicable economic definition... GDP of Argentina outpaces New Orleans.
I have no idea how the Argentinians selected the pistol. That's why I asked you for a link.
I agree that the JSSAP tests were affected by politics, hence my comment on the missiles. Not only that, the Air Force seemed to have an institutional bias toward the Beretta. But at least the tests were stringent and the Beretta passed them all. It's a good pistol, and it works reliably over here for us. I honestly don't think the domestic pistols tested were as good, though I grant that the SIG P226 is also an excellent pistol.
Slide separations with the Beretta weren't "rampant," to the best of my knowledge. Do you have a hard number on how many actually happened? I am only aware of about a dozen. Which sucks if you're the guy it happens to, but a dozen out of hundreds of thousands isn't what I'd call "rampant." That's just hyperbole.

SIG Sauer is a Swiss/German company. SIG P226 also passed all tests but was passed over due to spares pricing. A cloud of corruption stains Beretta's quote as there are claims that SIGs pricing was leaked to them prior to their submission. Your comments about Air Force bias and missile deployment lends credibility to claims of undo political influence in the procurement process. Given the history, I prefer the M11 to the M9 in the field.
http://archive.gao.gov/d15t6/137930.pdf. At that time the M9 was not fully deployed from the initial contract.
An overview of the M9 slide failure issue and its handling is available http://www.thegunzone.com/m9-a.html. Slide failures were associated with Tellurium (Te), an additive used to control shape, but reduced fracture toughness. Te slides were not used in original XM9 trials but introduced in production. To minimize injury, Beretta increased the size of the hammer pivot (92F to 92FS). Later, Te was quietly removed from Beretta slide metallurgy.
Total count of Navy SEAL slide failures in the field is classified.
In the end, it appears that Beretta provided 'ringers' for the XM9 (JASSP) evaluations, cost cut in production, got caught, and now produce the reliable, but different, gun you are using today.
I wasn't "asserting" that's what the Argentinians did, merely speculating that it would be a lousy way to choose a pistol compared to a more extensive testing regimen. Since neither of us know about the procurement process, though, my guess is as good as yours about how they selected it.
So then you don't have an actual number on the slide failures, but state that they were "rampant?"
I realize a lot of people are biased against the Beretta. It's not my favorite pistol either, but I have seen many in service and have observed them to be utterly reliable and long-lived pistols, even under poor conditions.

http://archive.gao.gov/d15t6/137930.pdf) shows rampant slide failure was a fact for the 92SBF (92F) chosen to be M9. Since you didn't seem to like it, I'll quote from an earlier September 1988 GAO report (http://archive.gao.gov/d16t6/136824.pdf) that you might like better, Quality and Safety Problems with the Beretta M9 Handgun.
The first laboratory slide failure, which occurred on February 8, 1988, involved an Army M9 firing NAKI standard U.S.-produced M882 ammunition. This weapon was one of three M9 handguns being tested for problems related to the barrel. As part of the test, all three weapons had been inspected after 6,000 rounds using a scanning election microscope (SEM) or magnetic particle inspection (MPI) process, and there were no indications of slide cracks. When the M9 slide failure occurred at 6,007 rounds, the broken slide and the slides on the other two test weapons were removed for metallurgical evaluation. The evaluation showed that one of the other slides also had fatigue cracks. This evaluation marked the beginning of an Army slide failure test program to determine why the failures had occurred.
The Army replaced the slides on the three weapons and continued to fire the M9s, using NATO standard ammunition, until each broke. One slide failed at 4,908 rounds, another failed at 21,942 rounds, and the third failed at 21.486 rounds.
The next grouping test results for four other weapons: one M9 and three Army-owned commercial (92SBF) handguns. The slide on the M9 failed after 7,806 rounds, and the slides on the three 92SBFs failed at 17,408, 21,264, and 24,656 rounds.
In 1985, the Army acquired three commercial 92SBFs for testing to determine which part would fail first. The first part to fail was a barrel. After the barrel failed, the Army suspended testing and inspected the weapons using an WI process. The inspection showed slide cracks on all three weapons. Because slides are considered spare parts and there had not been any slide failures at that point in time, the cracked slides did not raise any specific concerns.
The final grouping of weapons involved three M9s that were being tested as part of an annual comparison test. After the weapons were fired 10,000 rounds, the slides were inspected using the MPI process and one slide was cracked. The Army decided to fire all three weapons until the slides failed. Slide failure occurred at the 23,310 round mark on one weapon, 30,083 on another weapon, and 30,545 on the third weapon.
When every production M9 (92SBF/92F) randomly selected for testing actually fails due to slide failure, and at a low round count, yes I'd say the problem was rampant.
I love my 96FS.
Getting back to the Bersa thing. i bought one a while back thinking it might make a good backup type thing and it wasn't much money so I wouldn't cry too much if it wasn't all that good. I can say it's a pretty good pistol. It does what I would expect of anything in the caliber I was using (380)
__________________________________________________ _____________
As to this huge thing about those Barettas..people are going to like what they like. Though to compare a 92 Beretta to a 226 Sig for me would be a no brainer. I all about the 226 in that race. I've owned both and I kept the Sig. Why? Because it was more accurate, more reliable, and feels better in my hand.
I don't much care what tests say especially in the government is involved. I had run my own tests. Thousands of rounds at 25-50 yards(Figuring if I can group in under 3" there I'm good at the 21 feet most all states CCW qualifies). I really like how the Sig breaks down over the Beretta too. The Sig was/is hands down the better of the two there. In fact. The Sig P226 is probably the most accurate Military type pistol I have shot period, though I will admit that the 226 I have shoots a little better than others I have got to hold and send lead down range. After shooting several of both I still have my opinion.
__________________________________________________ _____________
Now..Back o the Bersa. anyone getting one I would strongly advise getting to know it really well. Make sure to use only ammo that feeds easy for a couple hundred rounds and it will turn out to be a pretty good little pistol. The 380 is a little tough to take down at first but like most things..Everything is a pain in the rear untill you're used to it I've not owned th 9mm but have shot a couple..Not too bad
The Sig 226 costs a lot more, and it should have the edge.
submoa, I concede your point on the 92F. I was unable to download the PDF file (bandwidth here sucks), so I appreciate you quoting the second for me. I do not know how many 92F failures occurred in the field/range, but I accept the laboratory evidence.
I think you misunderstood my comment on the JSSAP tests, or I wrote poorly. I was trying to reply to your statement about "test not being influenced by politics" by agreeing that the JSSAP tests were politically influenced by our desire to put missiles in Italy. I think there was also some personal bias toward the Beretta with the Air Force testing personnel.
Quite honestly, I think the SIG P226 is a better pistol than the M9, and would rather they'd selected it. But I do think the (current) M9 is a fine service sidearm, regardless of how it was finally achieved. It's certainly been tested a lot.

NP Mike,
I get pretty riled up about instances where new weapons get rushed into service because of politics. M9 was one example. M16 before they chrome lined the bores and issued cleaning kits is another. The SA80 is the worst not only because they replaced the L1A1 SLR with a total POS, but because it took 18 years before they brought in HK in to fix it (L85A2 upgrade).
In the software industry Version 1.0 syndrome means a reboot. In military procurement, Version 1.0 gets people killed or maimed.
Ssshhhh! Don't tell anyone how good the Bersa's are; its hard enough now to find magazines for them.
I have both the 9UC and 45UC. The 9 has been totally trouble free right out of the box. The 45 had some feeding problems initially, but has been getting better as it breaks in. Surprisingly it had less problems with hollow points (Taurus Hex) than with ball (WWB).
What is this thread about again, hmmm lets look....
When i was looking to purchase a small inexpensive back up gun I stumbled accross the Bersa and the P3at. My father-in-law purchased one first and noted that he liked it fairly well. I have a chance to shoot it and liked it very much. Therefore I made my decision to buy one and have never looked back. I wish I could honestly say that I don't care what others think about guns and that I make my own decisions. But that would be incorrect. I listen to what others say, and at most they will cause me to shoot a gun first before deciding on it.
I am happy with both of my Bersa Thunder .380's as well as my Bersa .380CC model. I fluff, buff and clean my guns religiously and have had no failures of any kind on all three.
just so you guys know the buenos aires police carry the bersa and so do some of the argentinian police agencies. just a little bit of info
That was probably the best answer to a question I have been wondering for a long time! Thanks pal! BJ
The company was founded in the mid 1950's by Italian immigrants Benso Bonadimani, Ercole Montini and Savino Caselli, all of them mechanical engineers. Montini worked for Beretta in Italy. At the beginning they were producing parts for the now defunct Argentinian arms manufacturer Ballester Molina. Their first handgun was a modified version of a Ballester model which they called "Luan", combining the first two letters of the last names of the 2 designers of the pistol, Luce and Antonovich. The gun didn't have much commercial success and very few of them were produced; nowadays they are quite rare collector's items.
The Modelo 62, one of the early BERSAs
BERSA Rifle cal. 22 LR
BERSA ShotgunsIn 1959 the first 22 Long Rifle pistol was commercialized, called "Modelo 60", which later evolved in the "Modelo 62", and based on a modified Beretta design, it sold extremely well. In 1960 the name "BERSA" was finally introduced, it is made up from the initial letters of the founder's first names. Many more successful models in increasingly more powerful calibers were produced in the following years, making BERSA a well known and respected name in the firearms world. In 1989 the first full size combat pistol was introduced, the Model 90, chambered for the 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge.
In 1994 a new model name for the entire production line was introduced, "Thunder", followed by a number indicating the handgun caliber. However the Thunder series in reality include two totally different designs in mechanics and appearances; for cartridges up to and included the 380 ACP the handguns are compact in size (except for the Thunder 22-6 which is a 22 LR target competition pistol with a 6" barrel) and based on a blowback system, for more powerful rounds, starting with the 9x19mm Parabellum, the Thunder line is based on a locked breech and short recoil modified Browning design.
At the end of the 1990s BERSA won the contract for supplying a new standard sideram for the Argentina Armed Forces and Argentina Federal Police that were looking to replace their aging Browning Hi-Power pistols. The BERSA Thunder 9, an evolution of the Model 90, was chosen.
In the past BERSA also produced 22 Long Rifle caliber long guns and single and double barreled shotguns but they did not have the same commercial success of the pistols and they have been discontinued.
[edit] Overview
BERSA is nowadays one of the largest privately owned corporations in Argentina. It produces, among many handguns, the very popular BERSA Thunder 380 and the BERSA Thunder 9 pistols and the Utra Compact series of the Thunder chambered in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP. The company is well known among firearm enthusiasts for producing high quality guns at very reasonable prices and it spends very little money on advertisement. Lifetime warranty coverage is provided to the original owners. However, firearms made by such companies can cost as much as twice or more compared to a BERSA pistol in the same caliber and with similar features. The Argentine company is often influenced by the German firearms manufacturer Walther in the design of its handguns; the Thunder 22, 32 and 380 are basically clones of the famous Walther PP and PPK while the Thunder 9 and 40 are somewhat similar in appearance and some mechanical aspects to the Walther P88. For many products in the past, a similar source of technical "inspiration" was Beretta. The full size Thunder combat pistol is the standard sidearm of the Argentina Armed Forces (Thunder 9), Argentina Federal Police (Thunder 9), Buenos Aires Provincial Police (Thunder 9) and several other Law Enforcement agencies (Thunder 9 & 40).
The Model 90 Combat Pistol, forerunner of the Thunder 9
BERSA Thunder 22-6 cal. 22 Long RifleThe Thunder 22 pistol chambered for the 22 Long Rifle cartridge is widely used among recreational shooters in Latin America and the Thunder 22-6, a longer and thicker barrel version of this handgun, is used in more serious competitions. Team BERSA, equipped with Thunder 9 and Thunder 40 pistols, has won several IPSC matches. The Thunder 32 and 380 handguns sell very well in countries that ban the use of more powerful cartridges for civilian personal defense purposes. The Thunder 380 is immensely popular in the US market as a small and light, easy concealable, high quality and competitively priced personal defense handgun.
I think this should answer your question about military use and/or reliability.
TNjack - as in the Bersa talk member?
Hello. HvyMtl
Anyway, I own a Ultra Compact 45 Bersa. The deal it this - $350 - comes with 2 magazines
The issue I think relates to the older versions of the model which had one spring instead of the dual springs they have now.
True, you can buy a Taurus for around $299, but it is not set up for ambidexterous (spelling not strong point) use out of the box.
I like the dual action safety/decocker and the grip design.
I am no strongman - far from it, but I can easily one hand this with either hand.
I believe it is a little to do with the gun snobbery out there.
Yes, I have fired a Sig Sauer, Browning, and I have fired a $3k 1911 Caspian. I like my Bersa better.
Don't expect the fit and finish of a $600+ handgun. Expect it to work.
My understanding of XD's is that they have been used extensively by the Croatian military and Croatian polices forces as of the late 90's (assuming it is the same product basic product that is imported and sold in the US). I would be curious to see if those agencies conducted high round counts or torture tests like have been performed on Glocks.
Buy what suits you, and shoot the piss out of it. End of test. Duh.
I own two Bersa pistols, a .380 and a Thunder .380 and really like them. As far as reliability, any issues that I have had with them are my lack of proper cleaning. The main reason I bought my first Bersa was because of how well the pistol fit my hand..... I was sold instantly. I added a set of rubber finger-groove grips (factory grips) and that even made them feel better IMO.
On a side note, where is the best <cheapest> place to get a factory clip for a Thunder .380?

Roman's decade of dominance at Stamford Bridge
It was the deal that changed English football in an instant, and, as the 10th anniversary of Roman Abramovich's purchase of Chelsea edges closer, the true cost of his investment can be revealed for the first time.
July 2, 2003 was the date Chelsea banished their financial concerns to become one of the richest clubs in world football, with their transformation completed as a reclusive Russian billionaire opted to base his fantasy football team in west London after spurning the chance to set up camp on the other side of the capital at Tottenham.
"This is not about making money," Abramovich told the BBC on the day he took over Chelsea, in what is still the only major interview he has granted during his decade as one of the most powerful men in football.
"I have many much less risky ways of making money than this. I don't want to throw my money away, but it's really about having fun and that means success and trophies.
"I'm realising my dream of owning a top football club. Some will doubt my motives, others will think I'm crazy," Abramovich said of a sporting institution that was valued at a modest £59.3 million when he bought it from Ken Bates and agreed to take ownership of a potentially crippling £80 million debt.
Roll back to 2003 and you will find reports quoting senior British politicians, Chelsea supporters and the game's hierarchy all questioning the wisdom of welcoming a man of disputed pedigree into the Premier League. Yet few could have predicted the size of Abramovich's impact on English football.
Bates said at the time that Abramovich promised to invest "at least £30 million" into Chelsea's transfer kitty and fund a much-needed training ground to replace the Blues' windswept and outdated facilities near Heathrow Airport. Yet his impatient ambition inspired him to spend four times that in his first summer of player trading alone, as he set about positioning his newly acquired football club among Europe's elite.
In essence, the Russian oligarch decided to rescue a failing business and turn it into one of the most recognisable sporting brands in the world with the weight of his wallet, which should ensure he gets a return on his investment if he ever decides to sell the club on to another wealthy investor.
The saying often went that only a fool would invest in a football club. But Abramovich has transformed Chelsea from a club in negative equity to a global brand worth as much as £1 billion thanks to its newly acquired sporting status, the real estate value of Stamford Bridge, not to mention the club's lavish training base in leafy Surrey.
The Premier League landscape was redesigned the day Abramovich came knocking on Chelsea's door, with this detailed account of his investments confirming no stone has been left unturned in what has been a successful bid to transform a club with a modest history into a European powerhouse.
2003-04: So the story begins
Achievements: Champions League semi-final, 2nd in Premier League
Top scorer: Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (18)
Signings (in millions): Hernan Crespo (Inter Milan £16.8), Claude Makelele (Real Madrid £16), Adrian Mutu (Parma £15.8), Juan Sebastian Veron (Manchester United £15), Scott Parker (Charlton £10), Geremi (Real Madrid £7), Wayne Bridge (Southampton £7), Joe Cole (West Ham £6.6), Glen Johnson (West Ham £6), Alexey Smertin (Bordeaux £3.45), Neil Suillivan (Tottenham £0.5)
Total spend: £121.15 million
Player sales: Graeme Le Saux (Southampton £500,000)
Abramovich's statement of intent in the summer of 2003 could not have been more impressive, with the expensive signings of Veron, Crespo and Duff transforming the club's fortunes in an instant. Agent Pini Zahavi was prominent in both Abramovich's purchase of the club and several of his early deals, with his willingness to pay fees in full up front as opposed to staggered payments, often making offers impossible to resist.
Even though likeable Italian boss Claudio Ranieri guided the club to the Champions League semi-finals and a second-place finish in the league, he was sacked at the end of the season as Abramovich and CEO Peter Kenyon were wooed by the charms of young Porto boss Jose Mourinho, who had just led his team to the Champions League title.
2004-05: The 'Special One' arrives
Achievements: Premier League champions, League Cup winners, Champions League semi-final
Top scorer: Frank Lampard (19)
Signings (in millions): Didier Drogba (Marseille £24), Ricardo Carvalho (Porto £19.85), Paulo Ferreira (Porto £13.2), Arjen Robben (PSV Eindhoven £12), Thiago (Benfica £10), Petr Cech (Rennes £7.1), Mateja Kezman (PSV Eindhoven £5.3), Jiri Jarosik (CSKA Moscow £3)
Total spend: £94.35 million
Player sales: Jesper Gronkjaer (Birmingham £2.2 million)
Few who were present will never forget the arrogance and confidence a fresh-faced and brash Mourinho brought to Chelsea as he faced the media for the first time at Stamford Bridge. His 'Special One' pronouncement is one of the defining statements of the Premier League era.
He backed up his confidence with success, leading Chelsea to their first Premier League title in half a century after collecting the League Cup three months earlier. The Champions League semi-final defeat via the 'ghost goal' at Anfield was a low point, though.
2005-06: Confirmation of dominance
Achievements: Premier League title, FA Cup semi-finals
Top scorer: Frank Lampard (20)
Signings (in millions): Michael Essien (Lyon £24.4), Shaun Wright-Phillips (Manchester City £21), Asier Del Horno (Athletic Bilbao £12), Lassana Diarra (Le Havre £1)
Total spend: £58.4 million
Player sales (in millions): Tiago (Lyon £6.8), Scott Parker (Newcastle £6.5), Mateja Kezman (Atletico Madrid £5.3), Mikael Forssell (Birmingham £3), Alexey Smertin (Dynamo Moscow £1)
Retaining the Premier League title is often hailed as an even more imposing challenge than winning it the first time, and Mourinho's Chelsea accomplished that feat as they fended off the challenge of Manchester United in the club's centenary season.
Their last-16 exit in the Champions League at the hands of Barcelona was laced with controversy, with Swedish referee Anders Frisk retiring after his contentious handling of the tie sparked a storm of protest and accusation from an irate Mourinho.
2006-07: The first cracks appear
Achievements: Second in Premier League; FA Cup and League Cup winners, Champions League semi-finals
Top scorer: Didier Drogba (33)
Signings (in millions): Andrey Shevchenko (AC Milan £30), John Obi Mikel (Lyn Oslo £16), Salomon Kalou (Feyenoord £9), Khalid Boulahrouz (Hamburg £8.5), Ashley Cole (Arsenal £5, plus William Gallas), Michael Ballack (free)
Total spend: £68.5 million
Player sales (in millions): Eidur Gudjohnsen (Barcelona £8), Asier Del Horno (Valencia £7), Robert Huth (Middlesborough £6), Damien Duff (Newcastle £5), Carlton Cole (West Ham £3), Jiri Jarosik (Celtic £2), William Gallas (Arsenal, part of Ashley Cole deal)
Abramovich had long pined to see his favourite player in a Chelsea shirt and he turned the dream into reality by signing Shevchenko for a club-record fee, yet Mourinho didn't seem comfortable with the arrival of a player who unsettled his winning unit.
Another run to the Champions League semi-finals papered over the cracks that were beginning to appear behind the scenes, with newspapers regularly running reports focusing on the spats between Mourinho and club officials. He still finished the season with a domestic cup double.
2007-08: Mourinho sacked, Moscow agony
Achievements: Champions League runners-up, 2nd in Premier League, League Cup runners-up.
Top scorer: Frank Lampard (20)
Signings (in millions): Nicolas Anelka (Bolton £15), Florent Malouda (Lyon £13.5), Branislav Ivanovic (Lokomotiv Moscow £9.7), Juliano Belletti (Barcelona £5).
Total spend: £43.2 million
Player sales (in millions): Arjen Robben (Real Madrid £21), Glen Johnson (Portsmouth £4)
Mourinho's future at Chelsea was the subject of heated discussion when Abramovich planted Avram Grant in the club's coaching set-up against his wishes. A sluggish season start signalled the end of the most colourful and successful managerial reign in Stamford Bridge history.
It quickly became clear that Grant, installed as a short-term successor, did not have Mourinho's magnetic trophy collecting skills, but the Blues came within a solitary kick of Champions League glory in a rain-soaked final in Moscow. John Terry's missed penalty handed Manchester United European glory and another Blues manager bit the dust as a result.
2008-09: Hiddink to the rescue
Achievements: FA Cup winners, Champions League semi-finals
Top scorer: Nicolas Anelka (25)
Signings (in millions): Jose Bosingwa (Porto £16.2), Deco (Barcelona £7.9), Gokhan Tore (Bayer Leverkusen £0.5)
Total spend: £24.6 million
Player sales (in millions): Shaun Wright-Phillips (Manchester City £9), Steve Sidwell (Aston Villa £5), Tal Ben Haim (Manchester City £5), Khalid Boulahrouz (Stuttgart £3.9)
Those of us who were invited to meet new Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari were enchanted by the charm and charisma of the latest manager to be handed a lucrative contract by Abramovich.
Yet it was not long before we were writing his Chelsea obituaries, as his inability to relate to the Premier League saw him sacked in February and replaced with Guus Hiddink until the end of the season. A contentious Champions League semi-final defeat against Barcelona was partly compensated by an FA Cup final win against Everton.
2009-10: Calling Carlo
Achievements: Premier League champions, FA Cup winners
Top scorer: Didier Drogba (37)
Signings (in millions): Yuri Zhirkov (CSKA Moscow £18), Daniel Sturridge (Manchester City £6.5), Nemanja Matic (MFK Kosice £1.5)
Total spend: £26 million
Player sales: Claudio Pizarro (£10 Werder Bremen), Ben Sahar (Espanyol £0.85), Andrey Shevchenko (Dynamo Kiev free)
Despite leading Chelsea to their first Premier League and FA Cup double, the word emerging from the Blues boardroom suggested there was only moderate acclaim flowing in Carlo Ancelotti's direction after his debut season as the club's manager.
Abramovich had hired Ancelotti to bring the Champions League glory he craved and a humbling last-16 defeat against Mourinho's Inter Milan was seen as a source of humiliation for some at the club. Must do better, was the unenviable end-of-term report for the amiable Ancelotti.
2010-11: Time for another change
Achievements: Second in Premier League, Champions League quarter-finals.
Top scorer: Nicolas Anelka (16)
Signings (in millions): Fernando Torres (Liverpool £50), David Luiz (Benfica £21), Ramires (Benfica £17), Yossi Benayoun (Liverpool £5.5), Tomas Kalas (Sigma Olomouc £5.2), Matej Delac (Inter Zapresic £2.7)
Total spend: £101.4 million
Player sales (in millions): Ricardo Carvalho (Real Madrid £6.7), Miroslav Stoch (Fenerbahce £4.95) Franco Di Santo (Wigan £2), Scott Sinclair (Swansea £0.5)
Failure to win a trophy is a sackable offence in the eyes of Abramovich and just a year after he led the club to their first domestic double, Ancelotti paid the price for his inability to build on the success of the previous year and was sacked moments after the club's final game at Everton.
Lumbered with a misfiring Torres for the second half of the season, Ancelotti's Champions League failure against Manchester United was viewed as the primary reason why Abramovich lost patience.
2011-12: AVB's brief sleepover, ultimate glory
Achievements: Champions League winners, FA Cup winners
Top scorer: Frank Lampard (16)
Signings (in millions): Juan Mata (Valencia £23.5), Romelu Lukaku (Anderlecht £13), Raul Meireles (Liverpool £12), Thibaut Courtois (Racing Genk £7), Gary Cahill (Bolton £7), Kevin de Bruyne (Racing Genk £6.7), Lucas Piazon (Sao Paulo £5), Oriol Romeu (Barcelona £3.75) Ulises Davila (Guadalajara £1.75), Patrick Bamford (Nottingham Forest £1.5)
Total spend: £81.2 million
Player sales (in millions): Yuri Zhirkov (Anzhi Makhachkala £13), Alex (PSG £4.2), Michael Mancienne (Hamburg £3), Nicolas Anelka (free)
Andre Villas-Boas was hired to start a new era at Chelsea and take on the huge personalities who had dominated the Blues dressing room during the most successful spell in the club's history.
The inevitability of his failure to oust the Chelsea 'old guard' was the only certainty of a season that ended in the most unexpected fashion imaginable. Few saw Champions League and FA Cup glory coming when Roberto Di Matteo took over as caretaker boss, but he duly delivered.
2012-13: Confusion, acrimony, triumph
Achievements: Europa League winners, FA Cup semi-finalists
Top scorer: Fernando Torres (23)
Signings (in millions): Eden Hazard (Lille £35.2), Oscar (Internacional £19.35), Cesar Azpilicueta (Marseille £7.5 million), Victor Moses (Wigan £7 million), Marko Marin (Werder Bremen £7 million), Demba Ba (Newcastle £7), Thorgen Hazard (Lille £0.85)
Total spend: £83.9 million
Player sales (in millions): Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool £12), Raul Meireles (Fenerbahce £8)
The delay in handing Champions League-winning manager Di Matteo a full-time contract confirmed that his paymasters were never convinced that he was the right man for the job and the moment his side stumbled, another Chelsea manager was shoved through the exit door.
Rafael Benitez's unpopular appointment may have reaped rewards with a third-place finish and a Europa League win, yet this was a fractious and unpleasant season for the club.
Managerial payoffs
Abramovich has hired and fired a glut of high-profile managers in the last decade, with the bill for his managerial impatience adding up to quite a fee.
-Claudio Ranieri (Sacked June 2004, payoff £3 million)
-Jose Mourinho (Compensation to sign from Porto £1.7 million in June 2004, sacked September 2007, payoff £18 million)
-Avram Grant (Sacked May 2008, payoff £5 million)
-Luiz Felipe Scolari (sacked February 2009, payoff £12.6 million)
-Carlo Ancelotti (sacked May 2011, payoff £6 million)
-Andre Villas-Boas (Compensation to sign from Porto £13.3 million in June 2011, sacked February 2012, pay-off £12 million)
-Roberto Di Matteo (Sacked November 2012, payoff £3 million)
BILL: £74.6 million
(*-There are also unaccounted sums paid to coaching staff of each former Chelsea manager)
Roman turning debt into equity
Abramovich's investment in Chelsea has not stopped with player signings and managerial payoffs. He has also wiped out the club's debt of £340 million, with his move to convert the interest-free loans he gave to the club into equity in 2009 and again in 2012.
Suspicions were raised at the move, which was viewed by some as a backdoor route for Abramovich to invest more money in a company that would yield more profit were it to be sold in the future as a debt-free company.
Chelsea major trophies with Abramovich: 11
Champions League: 2012
Europa League: 2013
Premier League: 2004-05, 2005-06, 2009-10
FA Cup: 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012

European Super Cup: 1998
First Division: 1954-55

League Cup: 1965
The final bill
Transfer fees: £702.7 million
Player sales: £174.5 million
Managerial purchases/pay-offs: £74.6 million
Removal of Chelsea's debts: £340 million
TOTAL SPENT: £942.8 million

Campus Resources:
The online library is great. If there is any article out there that a student would have to pay to get, we are usually able to get it for free.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
Financial aid disappointed me after I was enrolled. I was charged for two classes as was minimum when I only took one. I was not informed until after the fact that I would be charged a minimum of two classes. Other than that mix up financial aid has been great at getting back to me, and with helping me plan for classes.
Career Services:
I have not looked into the career center much, but there is an amazing site to use to help build a resume, and practice interviews.
Academic Experience:
I wish I would have been more informed about there being a minimum amount of classes I would be charged for the academics.
Academic Experience:
The campus is great, I just wish the student lounge was bigger so we could actually hang out and meet other students outside of class. Classes are catered to my major, and I am learning what I need to know for my future position.
Online Courses:
The classes combine both in-class and online for a perfect balance for real life application.
Academic Flexibility:
With life's demands today, flexibility is a must. As a student, I need to work and pay for my education. With classes offered online, it gives me the flexibility to work as much as the employer needs. Jobs are very difficult to get.
Academic Experience:
I'm a psychology student. This will be my first class with Argosy. I am looking forward to a positive experience and plan to continue on as far as possible. The education is flexible enough for me to succeed.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
Very pleasant. The effort from the faculty is great.
Career Services:
A bit concerned about work affiliations for placement
Tuition & Financial Aid:
It is really good. They helped me a lot and I know that what I am going to pay is going to make a difference in my future.
Academic Experience:
I havent started classes in order to grade this sections. However, I cant wait.
Academic Experience:
My major is Business and my expierence when I entered the school was great. I got all the help I needed and all my questions got answered with elaborate details. Not only did I feel at home but I felt a connection to Argosy. I was so happy when I stepped in the office. When I was greaded by nice and friendly people. The environment was peaceful and welcoming everything that I required. I knew that I made the right decision applying to Argosy.
Student Body:
Working Professionals – The Great thing about Argosy University is that most of the students are already working Professionals and it makes it easier to relate to the student body with work issues or juggling a Balanced life of Work, School, and Family life...
Campus Resources:
The one good thing about Argosy University Computer lab and networks is that they are All FREE, use of computers, printing books or course material it's all free. With the use of our Campus ID badges we can gain access to any door and use the computer lab at any time of the day... I like to use the Lab at night when it's not as busy and Print my Course books from online for Free...
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I am in my first year of College at Argosy University, and I had quailfied for a 1st year school Award with my Volunteer and charity work that I do with the Community, but the Counselor and recruiting office didn't really mention the opportunity to me until it was too late. I've been looking to replace the missed opportunity ever since...
Overall Experience:
My School – I choice Argosy becuase I like the structure of small evening classes. I am a full-time student and was a full-time worker until about a month ago when I started my practicum. I realized it was to much for me to handle. I like that all my teachers are friendly and I am able to get ahold of them whenever I need them. This school is not just about teaching the student but getting to know the student. I am very happy with the education I am getting and I would not change it for anything else at this time. I only have a year left and I am so excited.

The easiest homemade dog food! Keep your dog feeling REAL strong and healthy – with Only Natural Pet EasyRaw™ Dehydrated Dog Food.
Hand-crafted from scratch, EasyRaw is a make-at-home dog food that contains REAL, human-grade ingredients. Such as turkey, chicken and beef from USDA inspected facilities, along with a nutritious array of fruits and vegetables – apples, cranberries, celery, pumpkin, broccoli, sweet potatoes, cabbage, and more.
Unlike conventional dog foods, where most of the nutrients are lost during the cooking and manufacturing process, EasyRaw is gently dried in small batches. Through this dehydration process all of the ingredients retain their highest nutritional values – and provide your dog with the healthiest diet possible. In fact:
Keep your dog feeling REAL strong and healthy – with Only Natural Pet EasyRaw™ Dehydrated Dog Food.
As carnivores, our dogs naturally crave raw food, and the health benefits of a raw food diet are well documented. But who wants to deal with the mess and hassle of butchering raw meat – or chopping loads of vegetables every day? With EasyRaw, you get the convenience of a dry food and the healthy rewards of serving your pet raw meat, fruits and vegetables. And best yet – EasyRaw is so EASY to prepare! Just add water, mix and let it stand 30 minutes. Or make it ahead. It stays well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. No thawing, no chopping, and no need to add additional ingredients. It couldn't be easier!
The Turkey and Beef formulas are both grain-free, and have no preservatives, artificial colors, by-products, or additives.

Feeding Guide
Mix food with water, let soak at least 10 minutes. We suggest mixing up a batch in the evening and soaking overnight in the refrigerator for feeding the next day. You may mix up to four days of food at a time and store it in the refrigerator in a sealed container. Allowing the food to soak overnight will allow for optimal rehydration. It may still have a stew-like consistency with some broth present, but that is by design as it helps your dog stay properly hydrated (unlike dry kibble).
These daily amounts are guidelines, and your dog's requirements may vary depending on activity and overall health. Store in a cool, dry place and shake the bag occasionally to keep the ingredients mixed evenly. Amounts shown are total per day, and should be divided into at least two meals.
Please Note: Due to the nature of this product we suggest inverting or shaking the bag prior to mixing & serving.
It is important to introduce new food into your dog's diet gradually. We recommend starting with 10% of the new food to 90% of the old food on the first day, increasing the new and decreasing the old by 10% each day over the first 10 days.

Great Stufff, Especially for Adults
By BeckyinBoerne
from TX
About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Only Natural Pet EasyRaw Dehydrated Dog Food:
Good quality food with a stew-like texture when rehydrated. The bigger pieces of veg, though, go right through undigested, especially by my puppies. Smaller pieces might help, but don't be surprised if puppy digestions don't process the non-meat part.Expensive, but still a better value than some other dehydrated/freeze dried raw brands.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My girls happy!
By redhead
from indiana
My girl really likes this. the only issue is she would eat a whole lot more if i let her. I use warm warm and prepare only 1 portion at a time, feeding 2 x a day. It did take her some getting use to as far as her GI track, but now, she is so much better.. She previously had skin issues, no matter what i did. With no other changes beside the "raw food", her skin is healed and her coat is much softer and shiny. Pricey, maybe. But the little more in price makes up for the health benefits. p.s. She is a Pit and sits until her food is ready.
Pitt love.
By Redhead
from Indiana
Transitioning is key. My Pitt never refused the product, but when she had too much at first it showed - literally!. Like the instructions say, I transitioned her over a 3 wk timeframe and now she is so much better. She had odor issues, skin issues in spots.Her coat is now shiny, no skin breakdown and there is never an issue with G I upset now. Never.My only issue, she always is looking for more! I divide her feeding into 2 portions and this seems to work better for her. As far as mixing, i do it right before feeding, waiting about 30 minutes after adding warm water. Warm water is the key here. soaks up so much better and the texture is better. adjust the water to you & your pet's liking. Easy, easy. yes, it does cost a little, but when you look at what is in it and how much better your pet's life is, it is a no brainer...

Turkey & Sweet Potato - dogs love love l
By gn2dogs
from Amissville, VA
About Me Professional Pet Trainer
While I am building up my business, I am living on a fixed income that does not allow me to feed this food all of the time. Feeding this food to my dogs at least one week a month has made a marked improvement in their appearance...weight and coat condition. And it is much easier to carry up to my barn loft apartment.
Merchant response: You could also use a smaller amount as a topper each day...
Better health and my dogs love it

Easy to fix, they love it, and I know my dogs are getting good nutrition, with fewer health issues and medical expenses.
The Best for the Value
By Crazy Dog Lady
from Rockford, IL
This is awesome food. Cheaper than the Addiction, but just as easy to serve. It still gets expensive if feeding big &/or multiple dogs. I really want to go raw, but don't think I can afford it.
Terrific diet!
By BLYMOOSE
from Pensacola FL
I had this on hand when my dog had a GI upset and fed it to her and within 24 hours she was fine. This is very easy to use and to digest so will be keeping it on hand.
Best dog food ever!
By Radarrogers
from Phoenix, AZ
I have used this since ONPS first offered it. My VERY active agility dog loves it and his health/ coat/ energy level all show how good a food it is. The mix of meat-to-veggies is solid and while I have never eaten it- I wouldn't blink if I had as it is real food- no fillers- all meats and veggies and fruits. Easily hydrates.
I would buy this product again
By meme
from Mount Pleasant,TN
I ordered a sample of the EasyRaw dehydrated turkey, and my little chihuahua loved it! I mixed half of it with warm water to see if he would eat it,and boy did he!I was very surprised that he ate it because he is so picky..Will order the larger size soon.Another great product :)

"a little announcement", but it's really not little at all. It's switching away from the Google Maps API to OpenStreetMap. For the map images, it hired MapBox, a start-up that makes pretty maps out of OpenStreetMap data. Starting with foursquare.com, foursquare's maps now use MapBox Streets.Foursquare just made what it called
Foursquare cites Google's decision to start charging for access to the Google Maps API in October as the reason it started looking for alternatives. But it sounds like it just made more sense to the team philosophically, too. "We love the idea of open data," the announcement says, "and were happy to try it out."
Lots of businesses built on top of Google Maps have been switching providers lately. Foursquare's blog post points to StreetEasy, Nestoria and Fubra, all of whom went with open data. We also covered the decision by AllTrails, a network for outdoors enthusiasts, to start backing away from Google before its launch.
Google's decision to charge for API access could not have been made lightly, especially considering the importance of Foursquare. But it may have been inevitable. "Overall it's healthy for the ecosystem," John Musser of Programmable Web told us when Google announced the change. "Services need to be sustainable with business models that work for both sides."
It's also hard to ignore Google's efforts to compete with foursquare directly. Its mobile Hotpot app, Google Places recommendations and Google Latitude check-ins all seem like ways to crowd out Foursquare, although why there are so many overlapping Google apps for this is hard to understand. There are also Google+ check-ins, which will be the social glue that ties them all together.
Foursquare Explore on the Web to search for places, you'll be taking eyeballs away from Google. Moreover, Foursquare is now a major patron of open-source software. Not only will it support the work of the people building OpenStreetMap, it will also let Foursquare contribute to the open-source Leaflet Javascript library, which powers the maps.So now Foursquare and Google are direct competitors. When you use
Foursquare's iPhone and Android apps won't be affected, because they use the mapping components integrated with those operating systems, both of which use Google Maps. But Foursquare's data are now independent of Google, and that's no "little announcement."

The subject came up during my lecture and book signing for my memoir, In Love With Defeat: The Making of a Southern Liberal, but the men and women in the small lecture room exhibited only mild curiosity about the hysteria.
The meeting was hosted by the eminently sensible League of Women Voters, whose cheerfully organized president, Robin Collins, admitted to playing Ms. Deen for community theater.
Mrs. Collins said the exaggerated, south-in-the-mouth accent of the now infamous chef was not hard to master but she could not get herself to look like her subject.
Paula Deen's name would surface one more time after I tried to cover a career arc of 50 years in about 20 minutes. The lecture was framed by the men and events encountered over that period, which drew a picture of the good guys being invariably progressive and the bad guys being insistently conservative.
It's not difficult to make that point when you contrast Robert Kennedy with Mississippi Sen. James O. Eastland, whose reaction to the Ole Miss riots, in which one third of the marshalls was injured, was to insist marshalls had brutalized Ole Miss coeds.
Governors of the time made neat comparisons. While George Wallace was ranting about "segregation forever," North Carolina Govs. Luther Hodges and Terry Sanford cooled the race issue, created the financially and socially transformative Research Triangle Park and consolidated its research universities.
Those of us who practiced journalism during that period knew who real racists where. They were the Ku Klux Klan, who bombed school girls, who spoke at white man's rallies about killing black people. They were the thugs who murdered a black man on his way home from work, a man who did nothing more controversial than gardening.
Those of us who have confronted the rawest forms of racism are now to crown poor Paula Deen as an evil empress of discrimination? No, to do so is to be wildly disproportionate.
When her name came up again in questions after my talk, I had to admit that the N-word has more explosive power than I once thought.
In my book, I was trying to make the point to a friendly but N-word abusing cab driver that bad people don't come in just one color. I told him that most of the N-words I had known were white. The Georgians laughed, taking my meaning in the context of my talk or having already read the book.
However, as I told the audience, my editor insisted that I delete the word and write around it. I did as I was told, and now I see that it was the practical thing to do. I would be hurt if a single word exploded in my book in a way that would distort the book's meaning.
The audience and I spent a very short time pondering why there had been such an uproar mainly, it seemed, from white commentators. Many in the crowd nodded assent to my theory of guilty conscience.
Considerably more interest was shown in the radicalization of the Republican Party wondering why there weren't more reasonable men like Sen. Everett Dirksen, whose support was essential in passing the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
There was some discussion of whether the media were responsible for the decline of religion in the South, or were the declining Baptist conversions due to the Southern Baptist Conventions operating more like a political party than a faith.
Major figures of the time were a topic that held the crowd's attention for a long time. Most seemed to feel that Lyndon Johnson was effective and sincere in his commitment to civil rights and Great Society legislation. George Wallace's complexity and seeming change also generated much interest.
The boiling subject of the day, Paula Deen, didn't engage the Georgians as did the major events and personalities of the day. Sorry about that, Paula, I have to agree with my wife. You're not worth it.

Toto Guinevere toilet.
I've been searching for installation instructions for the Guinevere and Soiree toilet and can't find any. Are they similar to the those for the Carlyle series (MS904114 or MS884114 series)?
Before I order the Guinevere I want to make sure that my water supply line will work with the wide skirt or if I will have to have it moved over by a plumber. Looking at the specs, which was all I could find, it looks like I might have to have the water line moved since it indicates the line should be 8" from the center of the toilet. How close can the supply line actually be?
Also, I noticed a "special note" on the Toto website for the Carlyle, which said "Water supply rough-in is wider than standard 5 1/2" rough-in. Consult your builder or contractor." Does anyone know if this also applies to the Guinevere? It wasn't mentioned but it seems that complete information re: the Guinevere is lacking.
So, if folks out there know answers to any of these questions, I sure would be grateful. Thank you!:)
The Soiree and the Guinerver need 5-1/2" center to center or more for the shutoff.
The Toto spec does not show what you can get by with, it shows a generic measurement that would work on any toilet.

FireKing SureSeal Key Lock Safe Box
Pretty good
Grace from Madisonville, KY
I like this safe okay. I'm keeping it, anyway. It's VERY heavy! Not really a problem though unless you're toting it around. My only complaint is that it says you need to be sure to open it up and air it out every once in a while to prevent moisture from building up. So, just another thing to remember to do. Also, it specifically says it is not designed for storing photos or electronic storage devices (e.g. flash drives, CD's, etc), which could be a deal breaker for some people.
So far, so good
Katie Lang from VA– Verified Buyer
Arrived safely. Packaged well. Heavy, but that is expected. I hope to never find out if this actually works, but for now it gives peace of mind for our valuables etc.

Sun Provides Open APIs for Cloud Computing
As of this summer, Sun Microsystems will provide storage and computing resources for cloud computing. They intend to open up the APIs with a public review process.
Sun's Open Cloud should be available starting the spring of 2009 with open source components such as MySQL and OpenSolaris to distinguish itself from proprietary platforms such as Amazon. Sun wants to make the technology underlying the cloud available to its partners so that they can build their own clouds but remain interoperable with Sun's. Part of their strategy is to set up an open Sun Cloud, with web developers, students and researchers as their target audience. Sun also targets newly founded ventures whereby they can hope to have a faster and cost-effective access to computing resources. Costs for the Sun Cloud have not yet been established.
Sun is putting the APIs through a public review process on a Kenai.com forum that it established as a community website for open source projects back in the fall of 2008. A change log, which requires registration, will list the actions based on the feedback from the APIs.
Sun's announcement follows their takeover of Q-Layer and Ian Murdocks's recent adoption of Sun's cloud strategist role. From Q-Layer Sun inherited the Virtual Data Center that cloud users can set up via a drag-and-drop facility for platforms and applications. Cloud storage should, according to Sun, be accessible through WebDav and the Open Cloud APIs be compatible with Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3).

Eat This, "Eat This, Not That!"
For all those college kids not sure what to do about getting healthy, you'll enjoy Matt's story. Going Primal worked so well for him, he even started his own blog, Three New Leaves, about living a simpler, more mindful, healthier life (check out his recent series of beginner's guides to Primal living, part 1, part 2, and part 3).
If you have your own Primal Blueprint success story and you'd like to share it with me and the MDA community please feel free to contact me here. Have a wonderful Friday, everyone, and thanks for reading!
Ever heard of the Freshman 15?
I had. And I was determined, the minute I stepped into college, that I would not pack on the pounds that I'd already carried for most of my childhood. I even gave myself a lofty goal: a six pack, that holy grail of chubby kids everywhere.
I spent the next few years eating everything I thought I should: whole-grain tortillas, tuna, and a protein shake every time I stepped out of the gym. I lifted weights multiple times each week, forced myself to run miles on the track, and generally got trapped in a never-ending cycle of small, miserable success.
I'd start strong, losing a little weight and feeling like a champion, and then maybe a month later I'd be exhausted and dreading yet another trip to the gym. A few weeks would pass and the feeling would fade. I'd start pumping iron again, admiring myself in the wall-high mirrors, and then remember that I hated lifting weights every day of the week almost as much as I hated running long miles on the track. Screw the six-pack, I thought. That was way too much work. I just didn't want to gain any weight.
But I did. I fell out of the usual workout routine, burnt out from the day-to-day exercise, and staunchly refused to eat tuna on a tortilla ever again. My weight crept up each month as I frequented more and more restaurants, but it didn't really hit me until I saw some photos of myself without a shirt on.
Here's one.
Freshman 15? Nope. The "senior 25″ had hit me instead. Desperate to do something about it, I grabbed a copy of Eat This, Not That!, read it cover to cover, and wondered if I looked like an idiot whenever I brought it with me into the grocery store. I lived and breathed by that book, convinced it was going to save my weight, and settled into my most soul-crushing routine yet.
I'd pull up to a restaurant, open up the Eat This, Blah Blah! iPhone app, and skim the list of things I could eat. I'd aim only for the dishes with a B rating or higher, but over time I came to realize two things: those dishes tend to suck, and that the numbers in the app couldn't be right in the first place. I'd eat something I thought was healthy, start doubting that choice, and check the stats online the minute I got home — feeling down and glum whenever it wasn't as healthy as I'd thought (if only I'd gone for the other salad dressing!).
And then I found Mark's Daily Apple.
Coincidentally, I don't even know where the Eat This, Not That! book is anymore.
I dug through the archives here, absorbing every post I could, finding for the first time that all of the information about what I was eating actually made sense. Three hours after I'd found the site, I stood up, went out, and bought the Primal Blueprint itself, completely changing my diet — my lifestyle — from that point forward.
I've eaten Primally for a solid eight months, now, and started incorporating intermittent fasting in the last few weeks. The first change was in energy — no more mid-afternoon slumps! The second change was in how I felt. For months, I'd been keenly aware of how my stomach bulged over my seatbelt in the car, and I'd also noticed that my favorite button-down shirt couldn't handle my bulk.
Now, though? I feel awesome. I treated myself to a new pair of jeans, recently, and had another "wow" moment when I realized two things: that my stomach is too flat to bulge now, and that a 34 in the waist wasn't going to cut it anymore. I needed a 29. I might have done a small jig in the dressing room.
And the last change — the most important, I think — is in how simple my life has become. I don't obsess over calories, now, or have to consult the latest trendy book whenever I'm stepping into a restaurant. I don't have to spend hours in the gym or on the treadmill. For the first time in my life, I don't have to worry about my weight (and as the perennial fat kid, that's saying something).
I just have to eat Primally when I'm hungry and walk around when I'm not. Simple as that. (And I blog about it, too. Come say hi!).
Six pack, here I come!
